#2553: Cactus' link command uses CPPFLAGS and CXXFLAGS

Reporter: Roland Haas Status: open Milestone: Version: development version Type: bug Priority: minor Component: Cactus

Comment (by Roland Haas):

The ticket got sidetracked a bit. The original question was to remove `CPPFLAGS` and `CXXFLAGS` from the link call since there is no actual compilation happening (it really only links library and object files). Removing `CXXFLAGS` may result in (fixable) build failures in option lists that set eg `-fopenmp` only in `CXXFLAGS` and not also in `LDFLAGS` (or `OPENMP_CXXFLAGS` and not also `OPENMP_LDFLAGS`) since `-fopenmp` must be present in the link line to link in the OpenMP runtime libraries.
